clouds and irises

Yesterday afternoon, I finally got in the mail some cds I'd ordered. Yes, I still use cds. I'm proud to say that I have finally made it to 1995. I've only had a cd player in my car for the past year and a half, if you can believe that.

Having nothing better to do...nowhere better to go...I decided to take a drive...all the way down to Whole Foods, with the cd on full blast.

Who checks out a bouquet of irises, two apples, lavender hand sanitizer and wedge of Dutch goat cheese at 9:30 on a Thursday night?

Apparently I do.

I was excited to find number 2 was none other than "Clouds". I think it must be the most joyous sad song ever...or at least one of them. Seriously, you don't know whether to be happy or sad. That's the genius of it.

Those irises aren't wilted, they're exhausted from boogying down. Any of us who danced our way through the disco days of yore, has felt and looked that way. They'll perk up if you put some poppers in their water.

Of course you know that I make my own MP3’s from all the thousands of old LP’s in my attic. I bought them all once I don’t see the need to replace them every time they invent a new format.

Actually MJ the old 8 tracks work best for conversion as they usually have better sound quality, but less variety, John Denver, The Carpenters, Engelbert Humperdinck etc...and it’s hard to find an 8 track player.
